I’m always explaining to clients about the CMS’s that I recommend and use; Drupal, Plone, Joomla, WordPress, Umbraco, Alfresco and others. These are the ones that I use to design and build websites for my clients and I love them all.

So you can imagine just how thrilled I am whenever I discover some great company, organisation or individual using the same systems that I use…

In November this year, the Executive Office of the President of the United States of America relaunched their website, Whitehouse.gov, using Drupal. In the video below, Macon Phillips addresses how the White House new media team wants to create opportunities for citizens to participate in their government. David Cole talks about why they wanted to change their technology platform, what they actually built, and where they are going with that new platform and Nik Lo Bue addresses how he wanted to use an amazing brand experience to visually communicate with citizens using Drupal.

I think it’s pretty cool and hope you do too!
